Description

FROM THE PROPERTY OF THE BELO COLLECTION
Scott Gentling was born in Minnesota, but came to Fort Worth as a
young boy along with his twin brother, Stuart. After attending the
Pennsylvania Academy of Art, the Gentling brothers came home and
began painting the landscapes, people, and birds of Texas. The
diverse subject matter in their works was inspired by sights from
their Texas travels-the ranches of South and West Texas, the Piney
Woods of East Texas, and subjects close to home in North Texas. In
The Art of Stuart and Scott Gentling, Edmund P. Pillsbury,
Ph.D., former director of the Kimbell Art Museum, once wrote about
the brothers, "...they have taken advantage of their rich
experiences and keen powers of observation to root their art in
reality. At the same time they have spared no effort to transform
their art into a visual metaphor for the passage of time, doing so
by means of their mastery of brushwork, lighting, and design."
